You can run all four of the 6x9's off the amp if you want. They are most likely all 4 ohm speakers and would work just fime with that amp. Adding anything else would lower the resistance and will mess up the amp. Maybe run the 4x6's off the head unit? Dont know what to tell you about the tweets.

I don't know the specs of that amp, but possibly wire up the tweets and frts into series?? if it can hadle it?

just for shits and giggles....NORMALLY 4 channels=4 speakers......now if the amp is 2 ohm stable in 4 channel mode and all of the speakers are 4 ohm ...you could run the one 6x9 and one tweeter per channel (you would at least needs bass blockers for the tweeters or a crossover) ......this will give you equal power to all the speakers and the amp would be running at 2 ohms X 4 channels. Then run the 4x6's off of the deck.

But in reality, i think you have some serious sound issues in your car. My advice is to get rid of all of those and get a good set of componants and amp them.

I wish I could get components! I would need someone to make me panels for hem and I the quote I got was too high. so I got another amp so now I have 2 kicker kx350.4's. my plan is to run the 4 6x9's off one amp brigded and with the other amp I was gonn run my 4x6's off one channel and my tweets of the other. will this configuration work?

technically...yes it will. But no need to bridge the 6x9 amp just run it normally.

why not bridge them? should I wire them parallel then?
